Daryl V. DeMarco really hit it on the head with this one. As someone who has suffered with depression (due to many of the reasons he lists), it hit home.

I really like how he ties together so many different elements in the world that contribute to depression. From the actual brain chemistry - he explains Serotonin is a really easy-to-understand way - to the life of the modern-day child, political influences, teachers, etc., he hits the nail on the head over and over.

This is a fresh take on depression that you won't find anywhere else. It gives you the info that you won't find on Google. Not only will it connect a lot of dots for you if your depression is due to everyday life (which, let's face it, who isn't?) but it will also give you real, valuable, CONCRETE tips to heal. DeMarco does NOT promise instant healing and I can tell you that he's correct in that. Instead, his steps give you the power to take action and change your life and your thought process. As someone who believes that a lot of depression is due to the way we're taught to think, I'm a fan. I only wish it came out earlier!

An expert’s book on depression and mental illness. I really like how he ties together so many different elements in the world that contribute to depression. From the actual brain chemistry - he explains Serotonin is a really easy-to-understand way - to the life of the modern-day child, political influences, teachers, etc., he hits the nail on the head over and over. Very well researched and reads easily.
